Quantifying the Agreement Between Data-Influence and Data-Similarity to Understand LLM Behavior

Christopher J. Anders, Henrique Da Silva Gameiro, Nico Daheim +1

One way to understand LLM behavior is to trace its output back to the training data. Two types of measures are commonly used for output tracing: data-similarity and data-influence.…

Towards Fixing Clever-Hans Predictors with Counterfactual Knowledge Distillation

Sidney Bender, Christopher J. Anders, Pattarawatt Chormai +3

This paper introduces a novel technique called counterfactual knowledge distillation (CFKD) to detect and remove reliance on confounders in deep learning models with the help of hu…

From Hope to Safety: Unlearning Biases of Deep Models via Gradient Penalization in Latent Space

Maximilian Dreyer, Frederik Pahde, Christopher J. Anders +2

Deep Neural Networks are prone to learning spurious correlations embedded in the training data, leading to potentially biased predictions. This poses risks when deploying these mod…

Detecting and Mitigating Mode-Collapse for Flow-based Sampling of Lattice Field Theories

Kim A. Nicoli, Christopher J. Anders, Tobias Hartung +3

We study the consequences of mode-collapse of normalizing flows in the context of lattice field theory. Normalizing flows allow for independent sampling. For this reason, it is hop…

Navigating Neural Space: Revisiting Concept Activation Vectors to Overcome Directional Divergence

Frederik Pahde, Maximilian Dreyer, Leander Weber +5

With a growing interest in understanding neural network prediction strategies, Concept Activation Vectors (CAVs) have emerged as a popular tool for modeling human-understandable co…

Machine Learning of Thermodynamic Observables in the Presence of Mode Collapse

Kim A. Nicoli, Christopher Anders, Lena Funcke +5

Estimating the free energy, as well as other thermodynamic observables, is a key task in lattice field theories. Recently, it has been pointed out that deep generative models can b…
